Description

Appearance

The GUN Military Truck resembles a colossal Mack Superliner and/or GMC General, being as wide as a two-way street and as tall as a small building. It is predominantly grey and black with a heavily armored exterior, has the "GUN" emblem written on the front and possesses an equally large semi-trailer with the symbol of G.U.N. on the sides. In Sonic Generations, the GUN Military Truck was given a slight update in design, possessing more refined details and armor, as well as an extra set of seats with its own windshield set just above the main one, but otherwise remained much the same.

Features and abilities

The GUN Military Truck keeping up with Sonic's speed.

The GUN Military Truck is quite a powerful and durable vehicle, capable of running over cars and entire apartments buildings without slowing down. It is also very fast despite its size, being able to keep up with Sonic's running speed and can make extremely sharp hairpin turns at top speed. It is later shown to have additional features, such as three massive circular saws on extendable arms protruding from the top of its cab, rocket boosters that allow it to fly, and storage compartments for deploying various GUN robots.

The GUN Military Truck will appear behind Sonic after passing the last Point Marker in City Escape. From there, the GUN Military Truck will chase Sonic down through a section of the Stage where the camera angle has been turned 180 degrees. During the chase, the truck will slow if Sonic slows down too, though it will not stop pursuing him. Touching the GUN Military Truck will damage the player, and the truck itself in indestructible, meaning the player has to keep avoiding it until they reach the end of the chase where the GUN Military Truck will crash into a brick overpass. In Hard Mode for City Escape, the GUN Military Truck will move faster and is less forgiving. It is also notably infamous for destroying/plowing over several of the parked cars in its path.

Sonic Generations

The GUN Military Truck made a reappearance in the console/PC version of Sonic Generations as a part of the remade version of City Escape. It appears in both Act 1 and Act 2 of the Stage where it serves as an obstacle to the player. Like in Sonic Adventure 2, the truck is indestructible and will damage the player if they touch it.

In City Escape Act 1, the GUN Military Truck continues its role of perusing Classic Sonic, but varies so from two different angles. Here, it will either pursue the player through different sections or move towards the player from somewhere in the background at certain points in the Act, where it can both damage the player and destroy platforms, thus eliminating nearby shortcuts that the player can take. This can be avoided if the player uses the platforms before the truck destroys them. At the end of the Act, the GUN Military Truck will again pursue Classic Sonic on platforms, which serve like laddars for the player, and try to mow them down frequently, only to crash into a bridge support beam at the Goal Plate.

In City Escape Act 2, the GUN Military Truck is encountered in the way as it was in Sonic Adventure 2. However, the truck is faster and more determined about pursuing Modern Sonic here. The player encounters it near the end of the Act and has to outrun it, with the camera angle having been turned 180 degrees during the chase. However, in addition to pursuing Modern Sonic, the GUN Military Truck will also use three saw-blades attached on its cab to attack from afar, which the player can avoid by moving to the side while the truck is preparing them. Near the end of the chasing section, it will reveal its rocket boosters to charge after Modern Sonic on a vertical wall. It is ultimately defeated after it crashes into a large building, causing it to explode before it gets the chance of touching him.
